Valley is a Canadian alternative pop band originating from Toronto, Ontario. The group formed in 2014 when members of two separate bands were double-booked at the same local recording studio. This accidental meeting led to the formation of Valley, comprising lead vocalist Rob Laska, bassist Alex Dimauro, and drummer Karah James. Early in their career, the band explored various names before settling on Valley. Their initial releases included the debut EP, “Car Test,” in 2015, and “This Room Is White” in 2016. These early works established their blend of alternative pop, indie pop, and pop rock genres, laying the groundwork for their distinct sound.
Over the years, Valley has achieved several career milestones. In 2018, they released “Maybe Side A,” followed by “Maybe Side B” in early 2019, leading to their full-length album, “Maybe,” in September of the same year. This period marked a significant phase in their development, culminating in a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2020 Juno Awards. The band continued to release new music, including singles like “Nevermind” and “Hiccup” in 2020, followed by the EP “Sucks to See You Doing Better.” In 2021, their single “Like 1999” gained traction, and they embarked on a North American tour with Coin. Their songwriting received further acclaim with “Homebody” being nominated for the 2021 SOCAN Songwriting Prize.
The band’s progression continued with the album “Last Birthday” in 2021 and “Lost in Translation” in 2023, the latter earning a Juno Award nomination for Pop Album of the Year. In March 2024, founding member Michael “Mickey” Brandolino departed to pursue music production, transitioning Valley into a trio. The band released “Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden” in August 2024, their first album as a trio, which was subsequently nominated for the 2025 Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. Throughout their career, Valley has consistently released music and achieved nominations that highlight their impact within the Canadian music industry.
